Small Business Love


 
Last year, we launched our first Nellie's ? Small Business campaign, with the goal to highlight our smaller retailers in response to the ongoing pandemic. We're thrilled to bring it back this year and help spread the love to some of our favourite local shops!
Nellie's was built through the support of small businesses, all of which share our core values of caring for our planet, community, and of course, supporting local.
Take a minute to check out some of our featured retailers below, and help support our favourite Nellie's-carrying local gems and refill shops in your neighbourhood!
